During the autumn of art, 15 PARCO stores across the country will simultaneously hold art and culture events focusing on art, fashion, music, markets, and local topics. A total of approximately 400 creators and artists will participate.
PARCO Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) will hold "PARCO ART & CULTURE DAYS" from Friday, October 10th to Monday, November 10th, 2025, where 15 PARCO stores across the country will be immersed in the energy of various cultures.
Following its first appearance in 2023, this year's event will be held at PARCO locations across the country, with a unique, locally rooted approach to events taking place simultaneously. Approximately 400 creators and artists will participate in this campaign, which will be held at PARCO locations across the country, with a variety of cultural themes, including art, fashion, music, markets, and local culture. Shibuya PARCO will host "POND2025," a festival featuring up-and-coming creators active in a variety of fields; Ikebukuro PARCO will host "Ukiyo Tokyo -graphical tokyo- at TOKYO PARCO," where a total of 200 artists will take over the building with art; Sapporo PARCO will host "A-Z Homage to Takenobu Igarashi," a large-scale exhibition by world-renowned designer and sculptor Takenobu Igarashi, originally from Takikawa City, Hokkaido; and Chofu PARCO will host the "Chofu PARCO Art Festival," a new experimental space where art and the local community intersect. All 15 PARCO locations across the country will be engulfed in the energy of art and culture.
The project was produced with creative unit Margt as art director and Hasegawa Hakushi as music composer. Through ART & CULTURE DAYS, the spark of "the moment you encounter something that makes your heart leap" is expressed as "the light of inspiration." This creative work, a collage of light collected from around the city and in familiar places, is a must-see.
